Lang hebben we niet kunnen 'genieten' van de bèta, want zojuist is de final vrijgegeven van versie 3.05 van Paint.NET. Dit fotobewerkingsprogramma dankt zijn naam aan het feit dat het in C# ontwikkeld wordt, en versie 2.0 van het .NET Framework is dan ook nodig is om het programma te kunnen draaien. Nieuw in deze release is onder andere dat de schermen voor het openen en wegschrijven van bestanden er onder Windows Vista anders uit zien. Enkele screenshots daarvan zijn in dit topic op het Paint.NET forum te vinden. Het volledige changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
New:Changed:
- Pencil Sketch effect
- In Windows Vista, the new-style Save/Open dialogs are used. Among other things, this enables Search functionality.
Improved:
- The View->Units, Image->Flip, Image->Rotate, and Layers->Flip submenus have been "flattened" (their commands were moved out into the View, Image, Image, and Layers menus respectively)
- Renamed PdnLib.dll to PaintDotNet.Core.dll
Removed:
- Download size reduced by about 300 KB by using PNGOUT
- Some uses of confusing "MessageBox" style dialogs have been changed to a much friendlier "TaskDialog" style interface
- When changing the language, Paint.NET can now restart itself automatically
- Better performance for Move Selected Pixels tool for quad-core systems. This issue is documented and explained here, http://blogs.msdn.com/rickbrew/archive/2007/03/01/paint-net-many-core-performance-scaling-analyzed.aspx
Fixed:
- The "Clear History" button has been removed because it was not very useful
[break]
- Sometimes the Colors window would get "lost" between sessions of Paint.NET
- Stack-overflow crash when using certain effects, such as Gaussian Blur, on very large images with certain settings (such as a 200 pixel radius)
- When cancelling the multi-image Unsaved Changes dialog, the input focus was sometimes confused
- Very rare race condition in background thumbnail renderer
